6 broken surges i have to say i dont abuse my MT's and will use them as a alternative to a main tool if i dont have one, but its cool to see them pushed to see how far they will go, im still not convinced that vics polished drivers are better than LM's but now i have a swisstool ill have to see for my self and i do find the swisstool a bit fiddly, but time will tell i hope, cool test, paul
Hi guys!What you think,what is most unbreakable,tough multitol?I see a lot of Leatherman broken multitool (pliers and etc),also a SOG,less Swisstool.So what you think?I personally think its Swisstool,because I have 5th SURGE,now not abuse it so,because its so easy to break it (handles,pliers).
Blimey, you do go through Surges don't you? A week ago you'd only broken 4:Quote from: CumminsDiesel on May 09, 2010, 07:48:39 PMHi guys!What you think,what is most unbreakable,tough multitol?I see a lot of Leatherman broken multitool (pliers and etc),also a SOG,less Swisstool.So what you think?I personally think its Swisstool,because I have 5th SURGE,now not abuse it so,because its so easy to break it (handles,pliers).You start quite a few threads on this subject too

You start quite a few threads on this subject too [/q I just forget how many Surge's I broken .In Monday I sent it to replace my broken Surge.Everyone in post office "knows" me

Sure, the file would be safer, but the whole point of the exercise was to test which tool would break first if used this way. It was a strength test, not something he does regularly (I hope).
Hmmm... Why cut nails and screws with a wire cutter...? I can't see the point in that except deliberately trying to ruin your tools.. Does Leatherman really fix them on warranty..?

That is not a nail...but a pop rivet. Correct me fi I am wrong, but pop rivets do not have the tensile strength of a nail. Different applications, different quality steel.Likewise, if you broke 6 tools "testing them" I am surprised that Leatherman is replacing them as you are clearly abusing them outside the parameters of the warranty.Is there something I am missing out of this?
I suppose the other thing is why would you cut a screw/nail, i cut bike cables with mine with no problem but wouldnt go any further than that,but then if someone wants to push them then its up to them, iam surprised that LM replace them as it does state abuse i think on there policy,
